What this is about

This ENO Eagles Nest Outfitters Nomad Shelter System is a set of two main elements:

The Nomad Guardian Bug Net.

The Nomad Fly Rain Tarp.

They describe it as revolutionary and free-standing Nomad Shelter System and it is indeed as they claim, assuming that you already have their Nomad Stand. So in combination with the Nomad Stand and one of their numerous hammocks (those should be ordered separately), this set provides the perfect base camp for suspended camping.

Essentially, this is simply a very specific tent that uses the frame of their Nomad Stand.

The Nomad Guardian Bug Net

The upper body is net as its name says, they call it SkyWeave Mesh, but the floor is a 75D polyester taffeta with 1500 mm PU coating. You have large zippered doors on both sides for an easy access. The picture below shows the net alone attached to the Nomad Stand, and the doors are closed:

This is the Nomad Net alone attached to the Stand.

The base is bathtub-style and waterproof, and it measures approximately 5’11” x 4’2″ (180 x 127 cm). So the width is more or less what you have at the base of the two stands.

Obviously, this gives lots of storage space to keep your stuff protected and close to you. But you have a bit also under the two vestibules created by the fly.

The canopy is large and you have (L x H x W) 108 x 82 x 54 inches (2.7 x 2 x 1.4 m). These dimensions are again determined by the Nomad Stand construction because the whole set is built to fit it. It is well-ventilated and you have full protection from flying and crawling bugs. You have two lantern hanging loops inside.

Note that the volume inside is increased by a top DAC pole that crosses the central pole of the stand. This is shown in the picture:

The roof poles adds volume.

Nomad Fly Rain Tarp

The fly shown with the closed vestibule.

The fly is designed with two side vestibules, each with a central zipper, see the picture below. The vestibules are not large but you have some storage space underneath them. You can use one side for storage only and this will give plenty of room.

The vestibule and its zipper.

On both ends you have a clever design, the first is the part of the fly that goes over the hub elements on the top of each of the two stands:

This is how the fly attaches to the Nomad Stand tower.

The other detail on both ends are vertical zippers, so you can open them and have increased ventilation and roll to the sides and fix in place (this is seen above). The picture below shows one of the zippers:

Zippers at both ends of the fly.

With the zippers on all four sides of the fly, you can have as much ventilation as you want. This you can use to stay in a pleasant shade when the sky is clear. You can feel the atmosphere from this picture below. As you realize it offers enough space for you and all your gear and a dog:

The fabric is with double-stitching and the seams are fully taped. This all comes with a stuff sack included.

Setting this system is easy if you already have the Nomad Stand ready. The essential steps are presented in these pictures:

The setup steps.

With this system, you do not need trees and you can set it up on any ground and still have shade when needed.

You can use this system anywhere.

Rating, pros & cons

I described this system as a very specific tent without its own poles. So it is a bit difficult to rate it properly. If you see it as a tent, it is a bit heavy. But you realize this is a 2-meters tall structure.

On the other hand, it is a pity they did not design the whole system a bit longer so that you can use an ordinary ground cot when/if you want to do so. Nevertheless, my rating is very high:

Final thoughts

In the summary of this ENO Eagles Nest Outfitters Nomad Shelter System review, what you have here is an excellent structure designed to be used as an addition to their Nomad Stand. So this is an accessory, nicely designed and functional, though a bit pricey.

With all the elements mentioned in the text, you have an incredibly versatile system for car camping with full protection against rain, sun, and insects. You can use it anywhere where you can find a few square meters of clear ground to erect the two towers of the Nomad Stand. I can fully recommend it.
